"Belle, you do exaggerate.
In this context it's usually a result of early religious training.
A few things once seen as moral failings are now treated medically. Two such are insanity (the devil no longer enters people) and alcoholism. Some…"

Gerard Wood replied to Belle Rose's discussion 'EMPOWERING WOMEN!!!!!!!!'"Men and women together provide the next generation. Women are not expected to do it at their own expense, that is what child support is. Men are expected to do it for no reward, not even the love of the children over whom they are highly unlikely to…"
Melvinotis posted a discussionHow to acknowledge good fortune?
I think I am a lucky guy. I live a good life. But if luck is a fiction, like a deity is, I am not lucky or blessed or even honored to live this life.So what term defines my life (at least at this moment) in a way that does not refer to the…See More
Simon Paynton replied to Belle Rose's discussion 'EMPOWERING WOMEN!!!!!!!!'"@Teri G - I can see your point, that she comes across like some kind of rich Barbie Doll. But surely what she really is, is fantasy-fodder. Many women dream of living like her, and I can't imagine that straight men watch her…"
Stutz replied to Mercedes's discussion 'Why do atheists ask for so much proof to believe in God?'"Yes, yes, we've all heard the pitch. You're not engaging with what I said.
The point is that God could prevent these things but does not. Why wouldn't he? You have said that we all fall short, we don't measure up to God's…"
archaeopteryx replied to Mercedes's discussion 'Why do atheists ask for so much proof to believe in God?'"I recall Bernes's Games well, I was particularly fond of his, "Now I've Got You, You Sonuvabitch!"
Yes, Tom, she may have been playing us, or she might have been sincere - I tend to extend the benefit of the doubt. Worst case…"
Teri G replied to Belle Rose's discussion 'EMPOWERING WOMEN!!!!!!!!'"No need to be ugly. I didn't have time to write a full explanation so I thought I'd put my 2 cents in with the time I had.
I say she is the opposite of empowerment, in my opinion, because she is the "idealised woman". All…"
Welcome to TA
Our Radio Show
 This week on the Think Atheist Radio Show we have our interview with Dr. Sebastian Seung! Dr. Seung is a professor of computational neuroscience at MIT. A leading researcher in the emerging field of connectomics– the field of study that is attempting to map the connections in our brains– he has made important advances in artificial intelligence, neuroscience, neuroeconomics, and statistical physics. His recently published book, Connectome, does just what the subtitle says, explains how the brain's wiring makes us who we are. With implications for personality, identity, intelligence, memory, and even disorders such as autism and schizophrenia, this is a wide-ranging and fascinating book on a subject that would be right at home in a sci-fi movie but is in fact real! Don't miss this discussion!
And don't miss our recent interview with Dr. Jessica Pierce! Working in bioethics, Dr. Pierce is the co-author of Wild Justice: The Moral Lives of Animals. What does it say about human morality and what does it mean for the study of morality that many animals demonstrate behaviors that can only be described with words like "justice", "fairness", and "altruism"? Make sure to check out all of our past shows and see who's coming up in the next few weeks! You can also grab the shows from our iTunes page. |
